You are making good progress there. I like to be proved wrong but I was always under the impression that the only way to remove chrome that is still stuck in place is by reverse chroming. Does anyone know any different 🤔
Nitric acid 69% in an electroplating bath, licensed users only, it's what i used to do for a living, aside from that elbow grease and wet and dry paper for the parts that have not already peeled.

I started using Oregon fuel additive a few years ago, since then no separation in the tank, i recently drained down a tank for a tap repair and no water at all in there, and i even use supermarket fuels, no problems starting either. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

In the days I was much on the highway, the D8ES-L was my favourite. It was also prescribed by Honda France. BTW, does any of you know if there's a difference between the old D7ES and the newer D7EA?
d7es is standard 2.5mm copper core. d7ea is special design.

And at 16:44 guy puts his bare hands into the plating tank.. maybe a wash tank but still dead dodgy in that environment IMHO
Yes a rinse tank and only dodgy if you don't know what you are doing or not supposed to be there, i used to know an old boy who tasted the chrome solution, he would know what it needed, (crazy fecker) i would use the lab equipment to test my solutions.

Originally the wires to stator had a brass crimp and a little solder covered over with the fabric type sleeving, when i replace the little harness i did it the same way and also used shrink sleeve to boot, there would have been a tab to fold over the wires to hold them in place also.

As nice as it can be for a 400/4 and i never liked them, Frank is just a greedy bugger. Best four for me will always be the 350/4, love these more than my Zed thou.
Being just over 6ft with my height due to long legs rather than a long trunk I find the 400/4 a bit on the small side.
Well i am a dwarf at only 5'5" and these bikes suit my short legs well, just never liked the style of them, motors are lovely, they handle fine.

Whilst on hol in Cornwall the 400s reg/rec failed cooking the battery and blowing several bulbs luckily with only one day to go before we returned home. Not wanting to pay the thick end of £200 for another i opted for a no doubt Chinese lookee likee. This gets quite hot. Now I would expect it to get warm but no idea as to how warm, never having had reason to touch the original one when in operation. So for a couple of quid i have put a fan on it and it now works much cooler which i would think can only be a good thing.

I like it great lateral thinking- where did you source the fan is it a PC unit?
Behind right side panel down low, i have a nc31 as well, lovely little thing, still prefer the 350four though, i think my most favourite bike of all time.

Oxon were/are really low end shocks that did a fair job, they probably need replacing, Tec shocks are quite good and not silly prices if you are thinking of changing them, i have them on my Zthou and have used them on a couple of XS 650's.

Be fair, you have to enlarge the picture a lot to read it, in some cases more than others-------like mine!!!
I have a very large one, screen that is, no magnification needed.
